Value peace

Chapter 159
A few days after Gu Xiyan's ridiculous days, the little days came.

After marriage, this is the first time.

To be honest, she was really not ready to be a mother.But if he shows that he doesn't want to have a child, Qi Maosheng will be sad when he finds out!

So all along, she felt a little resigned to fate.Now that today is as people wish, she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But, it can't always be like this!

Gu Xiyan was thinking about finding a good way!

Of course, the best thing is to avoid it according to the day, but Qi Maosheng... can it work?

She was skeptical.

What surprised her was Qi Maosheng's attitude.He seemed to be very nervous, he treated her like a patient, washed her feet every night, and put on thick socks for her to sleep.

Gu Xiyan was a little unaccustomed to wearing socks to sleep, so she quietly took them off when she woke up from the heat in the middle of the night.

When Qi Maosheng found out, he scolded her with a stern face: "Your body is always cold, and you didn't cover your feet when you were young. Be careful what kind of disease you get when you are old."

Although she didn't know how Qi Maosheng had such a cognition, Gu Xiyan was suddenly moved by the man in front of her.

She just listened to the teacher in physiology class about how the body's resistance was weak during this period, but she never really took it to heart, and the pressure of life also made her have no delicate capital... I didn't expect... There was One day...it will be Qi Maosheng...

At the thought of this, her tears could not stop falling.

Qi Maosheng frowned tightly.

Why didn't I realize that Xiyan is a crybaby before.

Now it's okay, I'm crying at every turn.

Or, just like to shed tears in front of him.

In the middle of the night, Qi Maosheng had no choice but to coax her: "Okay, okay, let people sleep. If you don't like wearing socks, then put your feet in my arms and cover them, um, stop crying... "

Gu Xiyan burst into laughter, sobbed and put on her socks, lay in his arms and closed her eyes.

Qi Maosheng blew on the lamp, and said vaguely in the dark: "Go to sleep, I have to go to the military camp tomorrow morning..."

Gu Xiyan let out an "um" and curled up in his arms like a kitten.

After a while, Gu Xiyan pulled out the big hand on her waist and kissed it, whispering softly: "Maosheng, I, I love you!"

Qi Maosheng gave a soft "hmm" as if he had been squeezed into sleep, withdrew his hand, and groped to put it on her slender waist.

Gu Xiyan buried her face in Qi Maosheng's chest, and after a long time, said softly, "Maosheng, I love you!"

This time, Qi Maosheng did not make a sound, as if he had fallen asleep.

So, as if announcing something, Gu Xiyan said in a firm tone, "Maosheng, I love you very much".

She didn't know that Qi Maosheng, who was holding her in his arms, had already shown a big smile on his cold face.

* * * * * *
On April [-]nd, Qi Jiang arrived in Hongtai together with the Fang family's sending off team and imperial envoys from the imperial court. Accompanied by Qi Xiao, he set up the incense table to receive the order.

Just like the news sent by Yandi's spy agency, Qi Maosheng was awarded the post of Governor of Gaochang Governor's Mansion, and Gu Xiyan, as his wife, was named Mrs. Jingsui.

The first imperial edict was received by Qi Maosheng alone, and the second imperial edict was received by Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan together.

Gu Xiyan was wearing a real red skirt and gown, and she knelt together with Qi Maosheng in the middle of the courtyard of the Hongtai Mansion Yamen, listening to the imperial envoy chanting in a high-pitched voice: "...Yan Guogong Qi Hao, Guarding the frontiers, controlling the wilderness, and proclaiming his loyalty, he should be more pampered. Give his wife, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Jingxu, and eat the country's public salary..."

That is to say, there is no such thing as "door succession to Xuanmian, family inheritance of righteous prescriptions", and no "discipline and etiquette, reputation and seclusion". It is all about Qi Maosheng, and the only thing related to her is the word "Gu Shi". Yes, this is a typical wife who values ​​her husband more than her husband!

When Qi Maosheng led her to kowtow three times and bow nine times to the imperial decree, Gu Xiyan couldn't help showing a teasing smile.

The imperial envoy handed over the decree and a purple wooden box to Qi Maosheng, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the Duke."

Qi Maosheng smiled triumphantly, handed over the edict and the purple purlin wooden box to Siping, then cupped his hands and said to the imperial envoy: "Mr. Min, I have heard of your name a long time ago. Now that I have a chance to meet you, I hope you will see me again." The nobleman will reward you with a glass of water and wine." After speaking, he handed a soft purse to the father-in-law, "A little bit of etiquette, father-in-law will leave a thought!"

That Eunuch Min accepted the purse with a smile: "I have long heard that Yan Guogong is a heroic and chivalrous man. When I saw him today, what I said was too empty to express the demeanor of the Duke..."

While talking, the two walked towards the lobby of the government office.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile on the corner of her mouth.

This guy, I can't tell, but he can still pretend to be a frivolous villain. No wonder... everyone says politicians are hooligans!
Gu Xiyan was holding back her laughter, Siping bowed her head and smiled beside her: "Congratulations Madam, congratulations Madam!"

Because it was the decree of receiving the imperial edict, and Gu Xiyan was also present, so in the courtyard in front of the mansion, apart from the guards guarding all around, there were only Qi Xiao, Siping and Qi Maosheng's other close servant, Yiping. Xiao was socializing with Eunuch Min, and Yiping went to serve him, and Siping was the only one beside Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan was a little ignorant about this matter, so she was naturally unprepared. Now that she heard Siping say this, she just thought of whether she should reward him with some money, so she smiled and said to him: "Come with me!"

Siping didn't know, so he followed Gu Xiyan through the second gate and entered the courtyard.

When Gu Xiyan went to receive the order, Duanniang sent Yunshang to listen secretly outside the second gate. If she had gotten the news, she was wandering around the yard happily, and when she saw Gu Xiyan coming back, she immediately went up to greet her. , and the rest of her people were also smiling, showing a beaming scene.

Gu Xiyan looked at everyone's appearance, and suddenly thought of the scene when the department was rewarded by the superior when she was working in the company, she seemed to be happy like this.

She smiled and told Mo Ju: "Today is a happy event, Mo Ju, open the box, and each person will be rewarded with a silver key. Siping has worked hard, give him five."

The silver barley seeds in Gu Xiyan's house were custom-made by the Wei Mansion for her to reward when she got married. They are all in auspicious shapes such as ingots, plum blossoms, lotus flowers, kumquats, etc., each worth about two taels of silver.

When everyone heard it, they cheered in unison.

The big girls in Gu Xiyan's house, such as Hongyu and Cuiyu, only have one tael or two taels of silver per month, which is a huge sum.

Siping also smiled happily, and bowed to thank Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan remembered Siping's indifferent expression when Liu Meier gave Siping two East Pearls, and she couldn't help but smile in her heart.

Siping is also a talent!
But Duanniang remembered something else and called Siping: "Fourth brother, the purple purlin wooden box in your hand contains the gold book, why don't you take this opportunity to open our eyes."

After hearing this, Siping hurriedly handed the purple purlin wood box to Duan Niang, and Duan Niang opened the purple purlin wood box in full view.

Inside the purple gold velvet was a gold medal about five inches long and three inches wide, on which was written: "On the first day of March in the year 330 of Xizhao, Gu Shi, the wife of Qi Hao, Duke of Yan, was conferred the title of Mrs. Jingsui. , Fengguo Gonglu" words.

Everyone was exaggeratedly amazed.

Duanniang, who was holding the box, held it carefully for a while, with a gratified smile on her face, she closed the box and handed it to Siping, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, please put it away carefully, and put it away when you return to Yongzhou." They went to the ancestral hall!"

Siping saluted Duanniang very humbly, and then took five small silver barleys in the shape of ingots and the imperial decree gold book from Mo Ju to leave.

Only Mother Zhao, who was standing under the eaves, looked slightly startled.

The red sandalwood box is the golden book of seals, people who have never experienced it, how would they know!
Duan Niang has already returned to the main room with Gu Xiyan on her arm, and Mo Ju is in the main room distributing silver barley seeds to everyone, there are only the two of them in the room.Everyone got on the kang.Duanniang felt a little emotional: "This golden book, the first time I saw it, was when the old lady was 52 years old, and she was named a first-class wife. At that time, there was no you, and the eldest girl was only a little over one year old. Still cuddling in the arms of the nanny and breastfeeding... In a blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. I never thought that one day, I would be able to live to see this golden book again... A lady with a title, the whole Xizhao is also on her fingers. Countable. Master treats you pretty well, you have to be obedient, and if anything goes wrong, just think of Master's good..." As he spoke, he even took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

It turned out that it was in the middle of the night, and Duan Niang was burning paper in the yard to pray to Mrs. Lian, which made Gu Xiyan think she was angry, and was shocked.

Qi Maosheng hugged Gu Xiyan and giggled: "Your wet nurse is really nice to you."

Gu Xiyan glared at him: "Your nanny, my nanny's name is Aunt Duan. That's what our family calls her."

Qi Maosheng said jokingly, "Okay, call me Aunt Duan."

Gu Xiyan glared at him, turned over angrily, turned her back to Qi Maosheng, and muttered in a low voice: "If I didn't marry you, why would I be like this?"

Qi Maosheng's ears were sharp, his face darkened, he leaned over and twisted Gu Xiyan's hair with his fingers, insisting that she explain clearly.

Gu Xiyan simply said: "I said before that I will definitely treat Aunt Duan as a mother. If I marry a husband, I will ask him to kowtow and offer tea to her."

Qi Maosheng really showed a surprised expression, and Gu Xiyan sighed.

He was silent for a long time, and said: "It's impossible to kowtow to offer tea, but you can bring her a cup of tea someday."

Considering Qi Maosheng's education and status, this is Qi Maosheng's biggest concession!

Gu Xiyan was a little moved, turned around and hugged him, and murmured: "Maosheng, thank you!"

Qi Maosheng whispered in her ear, "How are you going to thank me?"

This guy!
Gu Xiyan pretended not to hear it, and changed the subject: "When are we going back to Qi Mansion? Meier will get married on April 28. How far is Dingzhou from Yongzhou? If I go to send Liu Meier off, I don't know if it is in compliance ..."

Not to mention ancient times, it is modern times. When a girl marries, her husband's relatives will be the main ones. But Gu Xiyan still has a fluke mentality. If Mrs. Wei goes, can she take the opportunity to go along with her? state.

Qi Maosheng put Gu Xiyan's ear in his mouth and said vaguely: "Don't go... Now that the Gaochang Governor's Mansion has been appointed, after presiding over Qi Yuzhi's wedding, I will go to Gaochang soon... I'm at home, you Don't go anywhere...I don't like you running around...If you want to leave relatives, just take advantage of my absence..."

Gu Xiyan suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence, her heart fluttered and she buried her head in Qi Maosheng's arms, and responded with a low "Yes".

When Qi Maosheng heard the answer he wanted, he sat down on Gu Xiyan contentedly...
